How do I turn off auto-straightening of photos/pages in a non OCR non scanned pdf?

I've created a pdf by uploading (not scanning) a number of photos into a new pdf document. Each time I try to add text or click on a photo it auto-straightens the page/photo which is actually making it crooked and it wants to crop part of the image as the crooked photo. I cannot manually auto-rotate it back to fix it. How do I turn this "feature" off? I am not using OCR and these are not scanned images.

All of the fixes online say there is a a box to uncheck in preferences - general or preferences -page display for automatically adjusting pages but this does not exist in my acrobat 2025 version. Please help!

Hi @at84937843 
By default, Acrobat automatically scans the image to try find text and rotate the page if it feels necessary. To turn this off, click on Edit menu, then the cog icon, then uncheck 'Recognize scanned text'  If it was checked before and so was scanned already, it will revert the to the orginal image. If you close Acrobat, it should remember this for next time so not automatically scan the image for text. This has worked for me.
